Patent EP-1498827-A2 (EP)
Inventor: POWELL ROBERT DAVID
IPC: G06F17/27
Filed: 1998-12-04
Abstract: The present invention provides a facility for identifying the unknown language
of text represented by a series of data values in accordance with a character set that associates
character glyphs with particular data values. The facility first generates a characterization that
characterizes the series of data values in terms of the occurrence of particular data values on
the series of data values. For each of a plurality of languages, the facility then retrieves a
model that models the language in terms of the statistical occurrence of particular data values
in representative samples of text in that language. The facility then compares the retrieved
models to the generated characterization of the series of data values, and identifies as the
distinguished language the language whose model compares most favorably to the generated
characterization of the series of data values.

Abstract: Load balancing between agents in a network skillset has become a particular
problem. Not only is there a need to ensure efficient use of agent resources in
the network skillset but increasingly labour law and union requirements mean
that work must be shared between agents in an equitable manner. A source
contact node in a network of contact centres requests nodal longest idle agent
information from the other contact centres in the network. Using this
information a network longest idle agent is identified and the incoming contact
routed to that agent. A reservation system is used in combination with the
longest idle agent information in order to prevent dropped contacts and to
ensure equal sharing of work between agents in a network skill set. Contact
centre servers are linked over a separate network, isolated from a network
linking the contact centre switches.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un circuit intégré à semi-conducteurs comprenant un transistor et une piste conductrice (11). Ledit transistor présente une première (1) et une seconde électrode source/drain (2), ainsi qu'une électrode grille. La piste conductrice (11) est isolée électriquement vis-à-vis d'un substrat semi-conducteur au moins par l'intermédiaire d'un diélectrique de grille et elle forme l'électrode de grille dans la zone du transistor. Ladite piste conductrice (11) s'étend le long d'une première direction (x) dans la zone du transistor. Selon l'invention, la seconde électrode source/drain (2) est décalée dans cette première direction (x) par rapport à la première électrode source/drain (1). Le transistor ainsi formé comprend un canal d'inversion (K1) qui s'étend simplement entre deux zones d'angle (1a, 2a), positionnées en vis-à-vis l'une de l'autre, de la première et de la seconde électrode source/drain, ce canal étant donc sensiblement plus étroit que dans le cas d'un transistor classique. L'invention permet de produire des circuits à semi-conducteurs présentant une structure plus compacte.

Inventor: STAMPS FRANK B
IPC: B64C27/39
Filed: 2004-08-27
Abstract: A damper has a piston having an axis, an outer surface, and opposing ends. Elastomeric seals are in sealing contact with the outer surface of the piston, the seals being coaxial with the piston and limiting movement of the piston to a path along the axis of the piston. The seals also define fluid chambers adjacent the ends of the piston. A primary passage communicates the fluid chambers, and a selectively switchable valve for controls a flow of fluid from one of the chambers to another of the chambers through the primary passage. When the flow of fluid through the primary passage is permitted, movement of the piston is resisted by a first spring rate due to a shear force required to cause shear deflection of the seals. When the flow of fluid through the primary passage is restricted, movement of the piston is resisted by a second spring rate due to a fluid force required to cause bulging deflection of the seals.
